Li Yue struggled: "Why?"

Shouldn't people die knowing why?

“We used to have a good relationship, but you started to distance yourself from me after you heard the teacher say that you shouldn’t date too early.”

But later he still ended up dating someone surnamed Zhu, though he never officially recognized her.

In high school, he also went to see her boyfriend, Fu Jia, and felt that they were not a good match no matter how he looked at them.

After he went to university, he left the country. When he returned, he found out that she had been heartbroken by a scumbag in college. He wanted to find her and tell her his feelings, but he could never catch her.

Even now, after being overwhelmed by life, he suddenly realizes that the person he has been longing for is right beside him.

But fate loves to play tricks; his sweetheart had a child and rejected him once again.

Li Yue gave a bitter smile.

Jiang Shuyin: "My job is dangerous, and I rarely have time to spend with my mother, let alone start a family. Even if we were together, we would be separated more often than together. Rather than being dissatisfied with each other in the future, I would rather reject you now."

Li Yue understood; she was a superhuman, and probably a pretty powerful one at that.

In that case, I'm not good enough for her.

In a post-apocalyptic world, it's already a miracle if overseas-educated master's degree holders can survive peacefully; this is just the beginning.

Li Yue nodded with difficulty: "Can I speak with you alone for a moment?"

Jiang Shuyin silently looked at her mother.

Zheng Lanxiang belatedly realized what was happening and led her three little ones toward the car.

Jiang Shuyin watched them walk away, while Li Yue stood beside her on the lush green grass.

He remained silent for a long while.

Jiang Shuyin: "Go ahead and say it."

Li Yue: "...Don't settle for anything less, I'm afraid they'll disappoint you."

Jiang Shuyin: "Okay." I'm sorry, I've never liked you.

Despite their high genetic compatibility, she was not keen on becoming his parenting partner.

Li Yue chuckled softly, her eyes lowering to conceal the tears that had just welled up.

"Then I'll go back, otherwise they'll have to come downstairs to look for me." He turned and walked home.

I heard my parents calling in the hallway, "Li Yue?"

"They're here." He stood by the window in the stairwell and watched the car drive to the Tian family's house before slowly going upstairs.
